Tekan 3 game

All in all, this is a great game that you will play for hours and hours. When the two previous installments of the Tekken series hit the PlayStation, they had one thing in common: Both were improved over the arcade version. Still, we had our doubts over whether Tekken 3 would make an equally stunning home translation.

From what we have seen so far admittedly, only screen shots , the game looks nearly arcade perfect. Tekken 3's story starts where Tekken 2 left off--at the final battle with Kazuya and Devil. Heihachi has gained control of Kazuya's Mishima conglomerate and is now helping to settle wars and aiding third-world countries.

During an archeological dig in Central America, Heihachi's workers dig up a mysterious life-form. Heihachi knows not what it is because communication is lost. When he gets there, all that is left are corpses. As the strange story continues, Heihachi comes to conclusion that he must hold another King of Iron Fist Tournament. As fighters gather to challenge one another, so will PlayStation owners. Of course, no one will die or hopefully even get hurt when they fight each other on the PlayStation.

Tekken 3 has an improved graphics engine, more lighting effects and more detailed characters. The backgrounds have also been improved, with all the pseudo 2-D buildings and structures of the arcade game. Of course, the PlayStation version will have a rendered intro along with ending cinemas for each of the characters. We should also put to bed rumors of Tekken 3 needing an add-on to work properly. Mike Fischer, Namco's director of marketing, says that no add-on will be needed to enjoy the PlayStation version of the arcade hit.

But is the system capable of reproducing the visual pizazz of the System based arcade game? We'll let you know when we get a playable version. If you're wondering what exactly is going to make the PlayStation version of Tekken 3 different from the arcade version, then this update is for you. Last issue we gave you the general info on the arcade hit--this time around, we're giving you a look at this new, PlayStation-exclusive character. The little dino in the pics is a popular Japanese comic book personality named Gon.

This small-fry may not look like much, but as you might guess, he packs quite a punch. Looking at the screenshots, you can see he's kicking the living crap out of Jin. Chances are, the arcade secret characters will be included in the home version, but we'll have to wait and see if Namco will put in more PS-exclusive fighters. Keep an eye out for future EGMs for more updates. Don't call him a carnosaur Based on the hugely popular Japanese picture book which features gorgeously detailed black-and-white illustrations by Masashi Tanaka, Gon is a small charismatic reptoid ot indeterminate sex and species.

Part dinosaur. In some of the books, Gon will take on as many as five different foes including piranhas, wolves, and a Bengal tiger , but in Tekken 3, he'll have to contend with at least 19 characters, possibly more. Will the tough Triassic terror be able to keep up with his martial-arts colleagues, or will he be sent back to the evolutionary slush pile to fight elsewhere? We won't know until Tekken 3 for the PlayStation is released later this year, but the addition of Gon could mean a fighting game that's as fun as it is tough.

It looks like Tekken 3's development for the PlayStation is proceeding at a blistering pace. Namco of Japan reports that the game will feature all of the arcade's characters, including hidden characters, along with the usually stellar practice mode and a few features not found in the arcade.

If Tekken 2 was the reason you bought a PlayStation, then Tekken 3 will be the reason to keep it. Smell that? It's your fear stinkin' up the room Here's what we know: Tekken 3 is coming out for the PlayStation, and we speculate it will appear in either late March or late April, with the Japanese import version hitting first just like Tekken 2. That means if you haven't gone down to your local arcade to play Tekken 3 yet, then you'll have only a couple of weeks to practice--and that's not nearly enough time to master this game!

Tekken 3 is set to bum up your PlayStation with some blistering moves and a whole lot of feverish fighting-game action! We've gleaned a few precious and exclusive facts from Namco, and although the company isn't saying much, we've learned that the home version of T3 will contain all plus fighters from the arcade version, along with two new extras--Con see "Special Feature: Tekken S for PlayStation," February , and possibly Dr.

Boscono-vich, the scientist from Yoshimitsu's Tekken 2 story cinema. Namco also stated that if it does use the Doc, he'll have his own fighting style and exclusive all-new moves. In other words, he won't be just a palette-swap character. Namco claims that Tekken 3 will be faster than Tekken 2 which seems almost impossible , with faster bounce-backs from falls, more escapes from tackles and stuns, and new throws.

There will also be secret characters many still haven't been seen in some arcades because they're time-locked , along with hidden costumes for each character and new computer-rendered intros and endings. Additionally, Tekken 3 will come home featuring sidestepping moves for complete 3D control that will enable you to circle degrees around your opponent.

This new addition to the Tekken PlayStation series should guarantee more strategic matches and fewer cheap wins using simple thumb-mashing tactics. The other improvements Namco is making are things you'd expect to see in a fighting-game sequel-more hit combos and new fighting styles, including two new kung-fu styles and the introduction of capoeira, the Brazilian martial art that's a cross between karate and the macarena see sidebar "The Courtship of Eddie's Fighter".

In its commitment to realism, Namco motion-captured the fighting styles to , make them more accurate. That's all we can share for now, since Namco is being very hush-hush about the project. Although some have openly wondered if Namco is rushing Tekken 3's PlayStation release, it's more likely that Namco's taking good care of its baby and checking it twice to make sure that Tekken 3's just as great at home as it is in the arcades.

Every fighting game this year will be compared to the champion of all fighting games-Tekken 3. Now that we've seen what Tekken can do, the question is: What can surpass it? Tekken is without a doubt the fastest, deepest, most intricate fighting game we've seen for the PlayStation. Tekken 2 has a Theatre Mode, but only on the Japanese Version. Alternate versions Anna William's ending in the Japanese version of the game featured Nina stealing Anna's bikini top at the beach.

The UK and US versions of the game has a different ending at the beach, as the original ending was thought to be too provocative. Connections Featured in Playstation Underground: Issue 2. User reviews 10 Review. Top review. THAT is fun. Fast, fun and furious, what more could we ask? The characters are different enough, even if some are way too strong compared to the others like Bryan!

Moreover, given it's age, the designs are still quite good, too. FAQ 1. What are the differences between the International Version and the Japanese Version?
